Alvin Stardust

Alvin Stardust (born 27 September 1942) is a musican, born Bernard William Jewry in Muswell Hill, London, UK. He made his stage debut in pantomine at the age of 4. In the early 1960s he became known as Shane Fenton & The Fentones and had a handful of hits. During the early 1970s he became Alvin Stardust as he tried to cash in on the Glam Rock bandwagon. His main hit was "My coo ca choo" in 1974, but he had four other #1 hits, "Jealous Mind", "You, You, You", "Red Dress" and "Good Love". Moving into musical theatre, Alvin starred in the UK tour of "Godspell" and played Uriah Heep in "David Copperfield - The Musical" and Sir Billy Butlin in "The Butlin Story" at the London Palladium.
